Care Guide

1. Light Requirements

• Preferred: Bright, indirect sunlight for optimal growth and blooming.
• Tolerates: Low to medium light conditions, though flowering may be reduced.
• Avoid: Direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, causing them to turn yellow or brown.

2. Watering

• Frequency: Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil feels dry.
• Method: Water thoroughly until excess water drains out of the pot. Always discard standing water to prevent root rot.
• Caution: Peace lilies prefer slightly moist soil but are sensitive to overwatering. Underwatering may cause drooping, which can be quickly resolved with a thorough watering.

3. Humidity

• Thrives in moderate to high humidity levels (50–60%).
• Place near a humidifier, mist occasionally, or use a pebble tray with water to maintain humidity, especially during dry winters.

4. Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–27°C (65–80°F).
• Protect the plant from temperatures below 15°C (59°F), cold drafts, and air conditioning vents.

5. Soil

• Requires a well-draining, rich potting mix.
• A general-purpose houseplant soil mixed with a bit of perlite or sand ensures good drainage.

6. Fertilising

• Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Avoid over-fertilising, as it can cause brown leaf tips. Reduce feeding in autumn and winter.

7. Pruning

• Remove any yellowing, damaged, or dead leaves at the base with clean scissors.
• Cut spent flowers at the base to encourage new blooms and maintain the plant’s tidy appearance.

8. Repotting

• Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound.
• Use a slightly larger pot with fresh soil to support continued growth.

9. Flowering Tips

• Regular care and bright, indirect light encourage flowering.
• If the plant does not flower, ensure it is receiving sufficient light and nutrients.

10. Common Problems

• Drooping Leaves: Typically caused by underwatering or overwatering. Check the soil and adjust watering accordingly.
• Brown Leaf Tips: Often due to low humidity, over-fertilising, or using water with high fluoride content. Increase humidity and consider using distilled or filtered water.
• Yellow Leaves: May result from overwatering, poor drainage, or ageing foliage. Address the watering routine and remove old leaves as necessary.

11. Pests

• Rarely affected by pests but may occasionally encounter spider mites, mealybugs, or aphids.
• Wipe leaves with a damp cloth and treat infestations with neem oil or insecticidal soap.

Styling Tips

• Position the XXL Peace Lily in a prominent spot to showcase its dramatic size and lush foliage.
• Place it in living rooms, entryways, or offices where its air-purifying properties and elegant appearance can be appreciated.
• Pair it with sleek, neutral pots or the included 45 cm container for a modern aesthetic.
• Add decorative elements like pebbles or moss at the base for a polished look.
